This year's Disability Aware- By Rogers ness Week was inaugurated by News writer the SGA executive officers as they spent the day experiencing first hand what it is like to be disabled. A select few of the SGA officers spent the day in wheel chairs, on crutches and blindfolded to simulate the disabilities that some students must face everyday of their life. While some participated for several hours, others participated dur- ing the actual SGA meting. Jeff Bennett, Vice-President of the SGA, had to face the challenge of deafness during the meeting. When asked what it's like to be deaf, he said, "It makes me appreciate my hearing. It's hard, but not impossible." "It's a positive thing that senators and executives are doing," said Chris Dempsey, SGA president. "Makes you understand the struggles that the disabled go through," declared Emily Hawke, Financial Officer. As the day went on, the officers faced many difficulties. Two of the members FDIC most memorable were Jeff Bennett as he tried to cross the road on the crosswalks, and the discovery of a broken elevator at the TMB just before the meeting.

It was only when the family brought it to a reporter's attention that the story became public. Early this semester, silence has again become a factor. In September, an incident occurred at Logan Hall in which two fire extinguishers were stolen and bleach was spilled in a lounge closet. That's not big news. But since students were being denied visitation and lounge privileges, there was a potential story. The next day the reporter began making contacts. In the process, the reporter was accused of trying to incite the students, of trying to create a big deal out of nothing. The reporter was also denied entry to the dorm if he planned to write a sto~y.The result was still a front page story, but an incomplete one since we were not allowed to get both sides of the issue, which is what we strive to do. Nine times out of ten, the opposite side of the story is more than willing to talk and talk and talk. "No comment" means there is some bit of knowledge that you want to tuck away, to hide. That hiding place costs you your right to a fair portrayal; it costs you the right to have your story told the way you see it. "No comment" means something is wrong, and that's the first thing a reporter looks for in a story. THE CHANTICtEER eEERPACE7

The Renaissance Festival in Atlanta features, for the first time, entertainment from JSUs Chamber Singers. %f It was the first time a college group had ever performed at the Festival. %f The day was educational for everyone involved, but don't ask the guys about the tights. O "Ho! Make merry! The festival begins!" cries a pretty lass from the Queen's Registry pavilion as she greets fair-goers. With bright banners waving in a cool breeze, the 1994 Atlanta Fall Renaissance Festival kicks off with cheery voices and Shakespearean slang. Held on an isolated farm, the Festival brings merry old England within walking distance of the Twentieth Century. The long foot-path from parking to the fair itself ensures that no modem noises intrude, allowing visitors to revel in the music and comedy of the old country without distraction. At the gate, a saucy brunette with a placard around her neck proclaiming her the town liar, playfully teases visitors. She asks the crowd who among them tells lies the best. One game damsel from JSU responds, "I do," letting herself in for some major harassment. Taking it with good grace, the student waves to the brunette as the line moves into the fairgrounds. The student joins the rest of her group, the Chamber Singers of JSU. Dr. Joel Knapp has brought his merry lads and lasses to perform at the festival, and they waste no time doing so. Just inside the gate, they break into song, scoring a large round of applause from other fair-goers. Bedecked in costumes borrowed from the Drama Department, the singers fit right in. Cavaliersbump elbows with chamberlains and belly dancers as jester- costumed children dart among the crowd. Acrier down one of the many footpaths warns, "Make way! Make way for his Majesty the King!" Behind the herald a procession winds through the grounds. Jugglers tossing plates and bowling pins, acrobats stalking on 20-foot stilts, belly dancers gyrating, courtiers bowing ... all make the crowd aware that the King approaches. The Chamber Singers pass by, singing a lively song and smiling at the waving onlookers. The King passes with his Queen, riding slowly past the cheering crowd. The onlookers disperse, many heading for the food courts. A wide variety of delicacies Caught!: A fair-goer gets trapped in the stocks. JSU students participated in Atlanta's awaits them.

We won but it was a downhill game. We won but it was ...p itiful," said sophomore middle hitter Angela Woodard. Woodard totaled seven kills against West Georgia, most of them in the second game at key moments. In match two, Carney immediately started the tempo with a hard kill followed by an Ace by Sandlin who recorded three service aces on the night. The Lady Cocks scored nine straight points before West Georgia scored the first of their four points. Brooklyn native Wendy Franceschi scored the 14th point off her serve to put JSU up 14-1. The Lady Gamecocks allowed two quick points off minor errors, but won big 15-4. Defensive struggle The third and final match was the clash of the defenses. Both teams volleyed the ball back and forth for the majority of the match, squeezing in a point or two each time. Julie Coss and Jana Simmons got two points off their serves and the final point was off the fingertips of The Lady Braves, announcing JSU the victors. "We haven't been playing very consistently, although we have great potential. Sometimes we play awesome, and sometimes we have the tendency to play like the team we're up against," said Sandlin. The Lady Gamecocks played without starting outside hitter Tarynn Minegar, who is out due to a knee injured over the weekend in a tournament held in Orlando, Fla. Minegar expressed her feelings of missing out on her first game. "It was disappointing but I'm really glad they played really well. I'm glad it (the injury) didn't affect anything. It was weird. I've never sat in the stands before and cheered for my own team, but I just hope I get better and hope I get to play again," expressed Minegar. Jax State plays Mercer Centenary tonight and will not play at home until Monday, October 19 against Huntington College. They will host a tournament October 21 and 22.
